Lampard surely licking his lip for this fixture. Been thinking to put Lampard at Ramires expenses, keep the same trio since they starting to show a good chemistry. If we had Daniel available for this may as well use him since Torres look sloppy and tired recently. We must this game, WHL used to be our 3 pts lane.

Personally, I'm not sure if Lampard is suitable to play in this game. If AVB employs the high pressing game on us, then Lampard might struggle in the double pivot and he won't have the legs to track back if he loses the ball under pressure or being caught too far high up the pitch.

Was thinking a bit about this. I'll be very interested in what RDM does for this match because Spurs are a team that naturally will be difficult for Chelsea. They have real width and they tend to attack from there. We haven't really played a team like that so far. It will be interesting how RDM decides to play it because his preferred lineup seems to fit very poorly in this match.. Mata and Ivanovic marking Bale and Vertonghen? Yikes. It will be interesting to see if RDM goes with what's been working recently or plays the matchup more.

If we play the three maestros it'll be a case of who out-scores who. I can imagine something like the crazy 4-4 when Grant was manager.

Would donate my left testicle to win this game

If I were you I would donate the right one..it's absolutely useless!

It's against AVB, he'll find the legs trust me.

Reading this always makes me feel a little warm inside. What a triangle we have there ...

Me too mate. The future looks very bright :)

So you want Ramires to play RAM and in the double pivot?! :lol:

My bad :lol: I would rather see Ramires-Mikel in the double pivot but due to Spurs threat down the wings I would understand if he plays there. So I am thinking Bertrand-Mata-Hazard is what he may do but if not he prob will have Mikel-Lamps in the double-pivot with Ramires on the wing. Thanks for pointing that out tongue.gif

Not sure where you got those assist numbers. Hazard has 4 assists, not 6 and Cazorla has 2 assists, not 3.

Premier League official site says that Eden has 7 assists

and Cazorla has 3 http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/players/profile.statistics.html/santi-cazorla

We should definitely play to our own strengths. Simply tell Ash and Brana to keep it old-school and mainly focus on defending as we can't allow Bale and Lennon too much space. With Ramires next to Mikel, he'll be key in dealing with their counter-attacks. Defoe's record against big teams is awful so that's already a positive. David Luiz can handle him.

Their defence (both individually and in terms of organisation) isn't great so we can definitely hurt them through the middle. If AVB opts for the high line even better, Torres will like that. The same goes for Juan.

And just like against Norwich, Mata and Hazard will simply need to switch it up and also occupy wide positions. If we struggle, we have Sturridge, Moses (think you can add Marin to that) who can change the team.

It's time for a win at White Hart Lane, think it's been a while.

I think it depends where you get it as some places count winning penalties as assists and some do not. For example in the fantasy premier league dream team that counts as an assist. On other websites it doesn't etc.
